About Us

We are giving people a taste of Amsterdam they won’t soon forget by exposing them to real food, people and neighborhoods. Our mission is to leave travelers with an unparalleled, non-touristy, food-related experience in undiscovered neighborhoods of the most fascinating cities in the world.

We embrace three guiding principles:

Customers: Experience a unique opportunity to have a taste of local life by connecting with the city’s personality, cuisine and culture in an unforgettable way

Merchants: Engrain ourselves into the local fabric by creating a distinctive bond with our local restaurateurs and business owners

Employees: Passionate people who love food, are proud city ambassadors and are committed to playing an integral role in growing our business

What is Amsterdam’s best kept secret?

Annamaria

PR AND SOCIAL MEDIA DIRECTOR

The biggest perk about working for Eating Amsterdam Food Tours is…

It’s great to combine my passions for food and for the city into my job. It makes me smile when people come together and enjoy good food while having fun… How great is it that this is my job?!

If tonight was your last supper in Amsterdam, what might we catch you eating?

I would start with some fresh fish (herring, Dutch shrimps) or Indonesian/Surinamese food (difficult choice!) and then move on to one of my favorite brown cafés for a beer from Brouwerij Het IJ with a bitterbal to enjoy our Dutch “gezelligheid”.

What is your hands-down favorite stop on our tours?

Café Papeneiland: it is just such a lovely typical Dutch brown café with its own unique history.

What is Amsterdam’s best kept secret?

We have some great small food markets in Amsterdam. Also, perfect for a summer’s day when you don’t want to be surrounded by lots of tourists, head to Schellingwouderpark to escape the hustle and bustle in Amsterdam North.

Vicky

EDITORIAL AND CONTENT MANAGER

The biggest perk about working for Eating Amsterdam Food Tours is…

Getting to work on something I truly, passionately care about about! It sounds very cheesy, but for the first time in my life it’s actually true…

What makes Amsterdam one of the greatest cities on the planet?

Ride a Dutch bike through the canals and over all the tiny hump-backed bridges at night, the lights reflecting in the water, and you’ll know why I love this city so much…

If tonight was your last supper in Amsterdam, what might we catch you eating?

The best homemade sausages and a glass of wine from Worst Wijncafe (Worst meaning “sausage,” not the superlative of “bad”!).

What is your hands-down favorite stop on our tours?

Café Papeneiland – the starting point. I took my now-boyfriend there for ossenworst on our first date, so it holds a special place in my heart!

Attessa

MARKETING DIRECTOR, EATING EUROPE

The biggest perk about working for Eating Amsterdam Food Tours is…

I get to work with the smartest group of people I’ve ever met – who all also love to travel and try new things. What could be better? Oh, and I get to work from home, too! Can’t beat it.

What is your hands down favorite stop on any of our tours?

Snoepwinkeltje. In short, it’s the candy shop. Picture floor to ceiling candies (literally) and you’ve now visualized this amazing shop… And also my personal, sweet-tooth heaven.

So you’re hosting a dinner party. What knock out dish are you going to prepare?

Nothing! Just because I love food doesn’t mean I can cook it. I’d ask my husband to cook (and he’d decide what is on the menu too)!

Don’t leave Amsterdam without doing what?

One of our tours, of course! And do it on one of your first days here because they are filled with tons of tips and recommendations that will be useful for your entire stay. Sorry to be a pusher but it’s true.

Jennifer

CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE

The biggest perk about working for Eating Europe Food Tours is…

For me, it is helping people plan an exciting part of their vacation. I like when people share their stories as to why they are travelling and about the special occasions they will be celebrating.

What is Amsterdam’s best kept secret?

That in reality, it really is very different from its reputation for red lights and coffee shops!

So you’re hosting a dinner party. What knock out dish are you going to prepare?

If I were going to host a dinner party I would prepare roasted pork tenderloin with apples…this is one of my family’s new favorites!

Don’t leave Amsterdam without doing what?

Hiring a bike and travelling around the city like a local.

Wibke

PUBLIC RELATIONS MANAGER

The biggest perk about working for Eating Amsterdam Food Tours is…

Meeting journalists and bloggers from all over the world and hosting them on our tours. I never tire of raving about our foodie finds (and enjoying them myself more often than I want to admit!)

What is your hands down favorite stop on our tour?

Since holidaying in Mexico a few years back, I am addicted to Mexican food. In London, La Bodega Negra, on our Twilight Soho Tour, serves the best prawn tacos on this side of the Atlantic!

So you’re hosting a dinner party. What knock out dish are you going to prepare?

I never served this at a dinner party, but I can make a great red lentil soup (thanks to Mr Jamie Oliver), and I just discovered the easiness of baking apple strudel (and yes, I cheat with buying the pastry).

Don’t leave Amsterdam without doing what?

I’ve actually never been to Amsterdam. But I envision boating on the canals, bicycles everywhere, Gouda cheese and tulips in spring. It’s on my travel bucket list!
